Abstract: Objective To express the TSO45W-4BX of Taenia solium in combination with CD58 as a molecular adjuvant for improving the protective efficacy of the TSO45W-4BX recombinant vaccine. Methods TSO45W-4BX and porcine CD58 genes were amplified by PCR, using recombinant plasmids pGEM-4B and pGEM-CD58 as template respectively. The CD58 fragment was inserted into the recombinant plasmid pGEX-4T-1 with directly ligated TSO45W-4BX. The transformant was induced with IPTG and followed by identifying the integrity of the recombinant containing TSO45W-4BX and porcine CD58 with PCR and sequencing. The products were analyzed by SDS-PAGE and Western blotting. Results The expression products of Mr 69 000 GST-4BX/CD58 and Mr 41 000 GST-4BX were present mainly in the form of inclusion bodies and soluble substance respectively, and both were recognized by sera of cysticercosis patients. Conclusions The TSO45W-4BX co-expressed with porcine CD58 conserves its immune reactivity.
